Need help with extending range
I seem to be unable to use a mesh system as I want to use Yamaha MusicCast and I have 2 receivers that need to be on the same network in order to work properly, but the odler one will only connect to...
In the event anyone ever searches for MusicCast and mesh Wi-Fi here, I will answer my own question.
I gave up waiting for Yamaha to get back to me, and I didn't get much help from various forums, as I went ahead and set up the Linksys WRT1900ACS in wired bridge mode upstairs, connected to the Nighthawk AC2100 Smart WiFi Router through a switch and disable the 2.4 GHz network on the LInksys. That pretty much solved all my problems, except for the money I spent on the Netgear MK62 system that would not work. My phone even controls the MusicCast equipment when connected to the new 5 GHz network, so the problem must be that Yamaha MusicCast wants all the controlled equipment connected to the 2.4 GHz (or same - but I can't test that as the older unit can't connect to 5 GHz) network. What a pain.
